LIVING WITH SNAKES SNAKE CONSERVATION ADDITIONAL READING HOME ... WILDLIFE > "SNAKE!" This information was excerpted from A Guide to Snakes in Virginia (authored by Michael J. Pinder and Joseph C. Mitchell). The guide will help you identify Virginia's snakes and provide insights into their biology, distribution, and behavior. It also includes snakebite information, provides answers to frequently asked snake questions, and suggests what to do about snakes in your yard and home. Finally, it summarizes snake conservation issues and offers ways you can help protect these fascinating animals. Order A Guide to the Snakes of Virginia online from our Outdoor Catalog! "SNAKE!" The mere mention of the word evokes an emotional response. It may be wonder, exhilaration, shock, or even fear. Many of these responses occur because snakes appear and behave unlike any other animal we know. Others are deeply rooted in tales and myths that give snakes extraordinary powers and abilities. Regardless of their source, misconceptions about snakes have made t hem among the most persecuted of all animals. A common reaction to a snake is to kill it on sight whether or not it poses a danger. However, the fact is that most snakes are harmless, and even dangerous ones would rather flee than fight. Once we begin to learn about snakes, we can replace our misconceptions with facts and our fears with curiosity, and we can begin to appreciate their important roles in our environment.

Snakes of Narcisse Brochure (PDF) Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to view the above PDF documents. Manitoba's red-sided garter snake dens are world famous for being the largest concentration of snakes in the world. During the spring mating and the fall pre-denning periods in excess of 50,000 snakes congregate at the dens in the Narcisse Wildlife Management Area (WMA) which contains four major wintering dens. The dens are a network of crevasses and caverns extending to the earth’s surface which were formed by underground water that eroded and collapsed the limestone. It is only by amassing below the frost line that the snakes are able to survive the harsh Manitoba winters. The movement of so many snakes to and from the winter den area has often resulted in significant mortality along Provincial Trunk Highway #17 adjacent to the Narcisse Snake Dens . Growing concern over the level of mortality led to an innovative solution to reduce the problem. In 2000, the Narcisse Snake Mortality Advisory Group forged a partnership with Manitoba Hydro, Centra Gas and a number of other businesses, organizations and volunteers to install a series of small tunnels under the highway and erect barrier fencing to guide migrating snakes into these tunnels. Mortality has been reduced by almost 75%. As a greater understanding of snake migration patterns emerges, improvements will be undertaken to increase the effectiveness of the system.

KEEPING CAPTIVE / EXOTIC WILDLIFE Introduction People who want to acquire various wildlife species frequently contact MassWildlife for information . Some people already have an animal and may be disappointed or frustrated to learn they cannot lawfully keep it in Massachusetts. To avoid such problems and concerns, the public is encouraged to learn the laws pertaining to the possession of wildlife in Massachusetts before they acquire an animal. A summary of these laws is below. This is only a summary and people should refer to the appropriate Massachusetts General Laws (MGL) and the Code of Massachusetts Regulations (CMR) for details. Background: Massachusetts pet stores are inspected and regulated by the Department of Food and Agriculture but the stores must follow MassWildlife laws regarding the animals that they may sell. Purchasers can reasonably assume that an animal for sale in a Massachusetts pet store may be lawfully sold and possessed. Do not assume that animals for sale in other states, including those states adjoining Massachusetts, are lawful in Massachusetts. Similarly, be wary of animals advertised for sale on the Internet or in newspapers. These animals may be lawful at the point of origin, but not in Massachusetts.
